Love computers and coding.

While I'm particularly passionate about Rust,it's not the only language I work with.

Recently started loving embedded programming

One year of Dioxus fullstack in production.

The Rust code is the most boring part of my business. https://t.co/L4N2iahJgF

Never understood why some obsessed with number of commits

[Craig Weiss @craigweiss]

no excuse to not push 100+ commits every day

[Maurice Kleine @mauricekleine]

This sucks!!

I lost my main @OpenAI account after using Codex to analyze access logs to my own apps and services 🤯

I've been using this account since the beginning, and even appealing the decision did not make a change.

What can I do?

Naming the variable

Developers in future would never remember what a struggle it used to be to think what git commit message should be

[Yassine Bouanane @ybouane]

People love to claim Rust rewrites are just vanity projects.

Then you put FlashRaw next to LibRaw.

FlashRaw finishes the entire batch in 0.79s.
LibRaw is still grinding at 5.5s.

12.6x faster. It is not even close.

[AstraKernel 💫 @AstraKernel]

@Scobleizer Yup. I just got a small burn on my finger while trying to desolder with a solder wick.

I sucked at soldering. So I upgraded tools. now it is much better.

I don't trust CPP neither the LLM

[ᴇᴅᴀɴ ᴋᴡᴀɴ @edankwan]

Why Rust if you are just Agentic coding? Why not just cpp? Shouldn't cpp got more training data in the LLM than Rust?

[Morgan @morganlinton]

Over the last year, I've fallen in love with Rust.

I was a C programmer for about a decade, really loved C, then moved to Python, but always kinda missed C.

Then I discovered Rust, and well, I like it more than C.

I also think we're moving into a time where we can see code as art in many ways. Code can be beautiful, or at least, it is to me.

And while we all write code with agents now, that doesn't mean we can't write beautiful code, and work on improving our code quality.

In a world where agents write all our code, writing better code is actually even more important imo.

Soooo, I've been working on a skill that I use with my agents to write better Rust code, distilled from the Google Rust style guide, the official API Guidelines, Effective Rust, and a couple of others.

Thought I'd share it, it's called BeautifulRust 🦀 ✨

@cris_chieppa If you are interested, you can give give speech about your work here in the Embedded Rust group monthly meetup. November there is already takk on "The visor". So maybe December

@AstraKernel This the board for my dcc project on esp32 and rust for digital trains . It works perfectly . Repo here : https://t.co/heY7QS0nfb

that's exactly why AI is taking developer jobs

[Jeremy Chone @jeremychone]

Big fan of #Lua in #rust with the mlua crate.

It's a great fit for modern AI Program execution in #rustlang

Crazy small (400KB), env-controlled, sandboxed, and extensible.

The mlua crate is a gem

Thanks to the Lua creators and mlua maintainers!

This is the way...

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesn’t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024.

“They said the rewrite would take six months. We’re on month 30. We haven’t shipped a feature since, but I’m having a very normal Wednesday.”

I like these insects

Might be a good time to remind your employers to support my open source work 🙃

@ThomasYouderian @abx_sixty_four @mark_k Some choose to use a language they already know.

Others let AI choose the stack. AI often makes poor choices because it tends to prioritize human concerns, such as developer time and ease of implementation, rather than choosing the stack that is technically best

[Tom Youderian @ThomasYouderian]

@mark_k If you had a language that was super easy to learn, but full of weird oddities, and people could jam out websites super fast with it, there it is, piles of it

[Charlie Marsh @charliermarsh]

We're starting to see some agentic Rust forks (or alternative implementations) focused on iteration speed.

More-so than the specific projects, I'm interested in the ideas being explored (and how they could evolve upstream), so wanted to collate a few here...
